Chapter 4: The Concert Part 1
Simone's P.O.V.
The night before...
"A girl? Come on Marshall Lee, spit it out!" Simone was over at Marshall Lee's house and he told her that he had met a girl today, coincidentally so had she.
"Yes a girl. And her name is Fionna" Marshall Lee had finally said
"This is great! Marshall Lee I can't believe that you've finally met someone" she was overjoyed that the person that Fionna was talking about was her own god-son
"No Simone, it's not like that we are only just friends, we just met today!" Marshall could not believe that Simone was talking like it was his girlfriend or something
"Oh I know that but I'm just so happy for you, you've never been much of a social person and you finally have a friend that I approve of." she said her eyes gleaming now that her god-son who she treated as her own was finally getting to know somebody
"How would you approve of her you've never even met her!" he exclaimed
Shit! He can't know that I'm her therapist and she can't know that I'm his god-mother until she's ready to tell me that her mystery person is Marshall Lee.
"Well then when can I meet her?" Stupid stupid stupid that was the worst possible thing to say
"I'm sorry, but you are not going to meet her at least not for a while now." he said and I knew he meant it
"Oh if only you knew." I muttered softly
"Huh?"
"Nothing nothing! Just thinking about a client." I responded
"Okaaaaay then? Let's eat I'm starving." he said
Hmm a divert the subject to the food nice tactic, I know that I'm not going to learn any more about Fionna from Marshall which is good because that would only make it more awkward when I meet her out of context.
We ate dinner in silence but that wasn't awkward for us we just simply enjoyed each others company we didn't need to speak in order to know that we cared for each other but I knew that his mind was on a bunny eared girl by the name of Fionna...
The next morning
Fionna's P.O.V.
Today I got up at five o'clock in the morning which is very unusual since school starts at eight and the bus doesn't arrive until seven thirty. The only reason I was up was so I could find the perfect outfit to wear to Marshall Lee's concert tonight I would have to get it all laid out so that I could see if it was the right one or not. By five thirty I had showered, eaten breakfast, packed my lunch, and chosen the outfit to wear for school and all I had to do was find the perfect outfit for tonight. By six o'clock the inside of my closet was on the floor and I had tried on every outfit in there except for one. Please let this be the one she silently prayed. I pulled out the outfit and tried it on.
"Perfect" I let out a sigh of relief and put it all into a box and laid it on her bed. I got everything I needed for school and went down stairs.
I plopped down on her couch and proceeded to wait for the bus. About twenty minutes later I heard the bus come to a grinding halt Damn they need to get that thing checked it sounds like it's going to give out any minute. I thought as I stepped onto the bus.
"Hello Fionna I saved you a seat!" I rolled my eyes
"Damn it Gumball," I face-palmed "Don't you understand that I don't like you nor do I want anything to do with you?" I asked
"Ah but you see nobody can resist my charms." he puffed out his chest and smiled at me
"Yeah whatever, not interested." I rolled my eyes again and sat down next to Marshall Lee
"Hey Fionna what's up?" he asked me motioning for a fist bump
"Eh, not much just excited for tonight." I smiled we fist bumped
"Marshall Lee what are you going to do to Fionna?" Gumball asked intruding on our conversation
"Nothing we are just going out to eat later that's all." Marshall responded without missing a beat
"Oh okay then." Gumball slunk away
"That was weird. So are we really going out to eat somewhere?" I was curious I haven't really been around the town yet so I didn't know where anything is
"Yep." he smirked
"What kind of place is it?" I asked
"It's... a surprise!" he chuckled
"Marshall Lee you big jerk, shame on me for thinking you would give me a straight answer." I rolled my eyes and punched him in the shoulder playfully
"Hey if you keep rolling your eyes your going to get dizzy and Damn you punch hard!" he rubbed his shoulder
"I have to roll my eyes around you two idiots, and I didn't even punch you that hard if I gave it my all you'd be crying right now." I stuck out my tongue, childish I know but it's Marshall Lee.
"I am not an idiot, I am a moron." he corrected making me laugh "and if you were being playful with that punch I do not want to know the pain Ashley went through when you beat her up." he shuddered at he thought "Oh yeah," he stuck his tongue out at my "to you too." we both laughed and joked around for the rest of the bus ride and when we had to separate we promised to meet up in the music room instead he said he had a new song that he wanted to try out.
"Fionna!"
"Damn it not again." I turned around "What do you want Gumwad?" I said not too nicely
"I just wanted to ask you if you would join me tonight for movie and a dinner" he gave me a formal bow
"Is this because Marshall and I are going to eat later? Because I doubt you would ask any other time." I just started to walk away I felt a hand grip my wrist
"Maybe, but why would you go out with a person like him? When you could ditch him and go with me to a nice movie and dinner." he looked at me with pleading eyes
"Okay pinky, you need to get a grip, I don't want to go out with you and Marshall asked me first and I want to go with him. So please let go of me before I land you in the hospital." I felt his grip loosen and I snatched my hand away and I looked at him in disgust and stormed off to find my class.
In class I couldn't keep my mind off those two guys. Marshall Lee accepted me, while to Gumball I was just a prize he wanted to take away from Marshall. Marshall Lee was my kind of dude he was into all the same bands as me, he appreciates my sense of style, and he is my best friend. Gumball is a popular who is way too into pink for it to be normal, he hates everything about my new personality and he is trying way to hard to get me to like him.
"Miss Fionna are you having fun over there in your day-dream?" the teachers voice interrupted my thoughts
"Actually yes. Thanks for noticing Mr. Lemon-grab." I sassed
"This is UNACCEPTABLE!" he was so over-reacting
"Yeah whatever aren't you supposed to be teaching us math instead of wasting your time on me?" I pointed out
"Yes Miss Fionna that is correct please try to pay attention in my class though." he just sighed and went back to teaching
"Whatever." I went knew I couldn't go back to daydreaming so I decided to draw a few designs, a long time ago my friends told me that I could be a fashion designer but that was a long time ago.
I went through my older drawings that I had in my notebook I have had this notebook since forever and I saw a drawing I had made last year. It was a strapless dress that almost went down to the floor and when you walked it was supposed to flow behind you. It was a tiffany blue with white lace. The lace would go from the chest up and wrapped around your neck it had a black and tiffany blue choker necklace that tied into a bow. There would also be lace gloves that had the fingers cut off and it went up to the elbows. A design that I was very proud of. I heard the bell ring and I quickly hid my design away and ran out of the class before Mr. Lemon-grab could talk to me. The rest of the morning went by without much trouble I would just doodle and move from class to class and so far no more problems from Ashley or Gumball. Soon it was lunch time and I made my way to the music room, and I heard someone singing and playing the bass. I leaned against the door I didn't want to let them know that I was there quite yet. I heard the end of the song and I walked in clapping.
"Fionna! How long have you been there?" Marshall Lee exclaimed
"Long enough, I knew you could sing but I didn't know you sang that well." I said
"You really liked it. I wrote it just recently. I don't think that it's concert worthy though."
"Dude you better play it at your next concert because tonight's isn't enough time." I said he really needed to play this song it was obvious that it was for someone special but his band doesn't have enough time to practice it if he just wrote it.
"Okay but it I get booed off the stage I blame you." he pointed to me and had a feigned glare I saw right through it.
"Yeah right they would probably want an encore after that." I rolled my eyes
"Whatever anyway how would you like to meet the band before the concert?" he asked
"I'd love to! I mean sure." I was having trouble containing my excitement
"Okay just be there like an hour before the show starts." he said and he packed up his bass walked towards the door "Now are we going to eat or what?"
"What do you mean?" I asked
"I was planning on going to Chipotle by myself, but I thought that you might like to join me so, wanna go get some burritos?" he asked
I shook my head in disbelief "Fine but I'm getting a quesadilla" I said trying hard to be angry "What made you think that I would say yes?" I was curious
"Well I am a sexy beast and we are best friends and I know you didn't bring a lunch today or else you would've eaten it already." he pointed out
"Keep telling yourself that Marsh," I rolled my eyes and though I would never admit it he was kinda sexy... what the math am I saying he's my bro and I just met him yesterday
"You know I'm hot Fi, don't even try to deny it." he taunted
I turned bright red "Marshall you have really become more confident since I first met, what happened to humble Marshall Lee?" I feigned despair
"Oh there never was a humble Marshall Lee, he just decided to come out around you." he explained and I guess to prove his point he kissed me on the forehead and winked running out of the room
"Marshall Lee! You get back here right now!" I thought I was going to melt when he kissed my forehead and when I caught up with him I tackled him to the ground "What was that for?!" I was out of breath and my face was still bright red.
"Well I decided to prove my point and then I knew you were gonna kill me so I ran outta there as fast as I could. Can you get off me now I would really like to go eat now." I got off him and he brushed the 'dust' from his shirt and grabbed my wrist and tugged me along to Chipotle
We ordered and then I saw a flash of pink walk by the window.
"What the Hell?" I said standing up
"Hey Fi, is something wrong?" Marshall asked
"I thought I saw something pink walk by. But the only pink person I know is..." I looked back at Marshall who was seething "He wouldn't."
"Oh he would." Marshall said through gritted teeth as he stomped past me and straight towards the bushes and then I heard a shriek and he came out holding a frightened Gumball by the collar.
"Gumball I know why your here and if you don't leave me alone I swear to glob I will tell the principle that you are harassing me and Marshall Lee, and then I will make sure the whole school knows exactly who you are." I took out my phone and took a lot of photos that were proof that he had been following me and then I still had the video of when he had first approached me. "With the help of these and that video from yesterday, it'll be cake..." I faltered for a second and Marshall looked concerned when he saw my face "to take you down. So leave us alone." I finished before Marshall let him go and he ran like his life depended on it.
"Fionna! Fionna are you okay?!" he exclaimed when I collapsed on the on the ground it a bundle of tears he lifted me up and took me home.
"H-how did yo-you know where I lived?" I asked I mean I don't remember telling him where I lived
"We ride the bus remember we stop at everyone's house and yours is the only one that I pay attention to." he said he took out his phone and called the school letting them know that I was 'sick' and that he was staying to take care of me.
"Oh. Sorry." I said feeling like an idiot
"It's okay, that doesn't matter right now. What happened back there are you okay?" he put his hand on my shoulder
"Yeah I'm fine I just remembered something that happened a long time ago and I guess I just shut down." I tried to laugh it off but when I saw the look on his face I looked down. "Hey, since I'm not really sick do you wanna see the outfit I chose for tonight?" I tried changing the subject
"Okaaay if your sure your okay." he looked uncertain but he knew that I wasn't going to spill at least not right now.
"Great!" I dashed upstairs and opened the box on my bed. I pulled out a black undershirt and a blood red crop top sweater with a white heart depicted to be slowly deteriorating over my real heart was. It had sleeves that only went up to my elbows. Then I pulled on a pair of black skinny jeans and black flats. Now it was time for hair and make up. I pulled most of my hair into a high ponytail except for my bangs I let them do there own thing, my hair now went to the middle of my thighs yes I had Rapunzel hair but I didn't mind it that much. I put in a skull barrette on the left side of my head and pinned a few lose hairs back and place my signature black bunny ears on my head. Perfect. For my make-up I decided to go with a light night look with the colors being red and black and I put on light red lip stick, enough that it was known that I was wearing lip stick but not so red it looked like paint. Lastly I tied a black and red ribbon around my neck to make a choker necklace. She made her way downstairs slowly but before she lost all confidence she cleared her throat
Marshall Lee's P.O.V.
I decided that after about ten minutes of waiting that I was hungry so I went and picked up an apple from her kitchen and I heard someone clear their throat. I turned around and immediately dropped my apple and I felt my jaw drop to the ground.
"I- I, you look. Wow. Just... wow" I said stupidly even though it was sorta a normal outfit she looked stunning in it every aspect of this outfit just made her look stunning
"T-t-thanks, Marsh" she said the blush in her cheeks becoming very noticeable
"Yeah." I quickly mentally slapped myself and went back to normal "We should probably get going the band is dying to meet you." I said my voice giving away some of my nervousness. Damn why did she have to look so damn beautiful.
We made our way to the bar that we perform at and when we got there there wasn't much of a crowd but that should change in a few hours. I waved to the manager and started to walk to the back but Fionna just stood there frozen.
"Hey Fionna what's wrong?" I asked she looked scared shit-less and I saw a few guys our age in the arcade giving her the once-over I glared at them she probably wasn't used to dudes looking at her like that but we weren't at school anymore our 'kind' hangs out here not at the mall. But she wasn't looking in their direction so she must have been scared of something else.
"NO! Absolutely nothing is wrong!" she said as she grabbed my hand and started walking in the general direction of the back
"Okay jeez you just seemed scared." I said
"I wasn't scared, I was just admiring this place is really cool." she said but I could see through her act
"Okay then," I said opening the doors "Hey guys this is Fionna!" I called to the band
"Hey there you're the chick that beat the tar outta Ashley correct?" asked Marceline to Fionna, She and Bonnie are the only two girls in the band we are Trouble in AAA since most us are so labeled 'trouble-makers' because of our appearances, I mean we are but doesn't mean you can judge us before knowing our names.
"Hell yeah, she started it though wanna see the video? Lsp got it all on tape." she said taking out her phone
"Dude you are totes cool for doing that." and they both sat down on the couch and started to watch the video
"Marshall Lee why does she wear bunny ears?" Bonnie asked me accompanied by Finn and Jake
"Why whats wrong with wearing animal ears I used to do that when I was little?" Finn protested even though he still has bear ears on his hoodie
"Nothing Finn, but she seems a bit to old and bad ass to wear bunny ears." she said
"Well I think she looks cute in them." I said then I saw them smirking at me "I m-meant that it suits her like it suits Finn to wear bear ears and yes though she is a bad ass the ears make her look a little bit like an easy target but she can actually beat the tar out of anyone who tries." I defended quickly and gestured to Marcy and Fionna laughing their butts off and fist bumping
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Bonnie said smirking
"Wow I can't believe that Marce warmed up to her that quickly." Jake said jaw agape like it was some miracle that Fionna was making a great impression on one of our least approachable members the other being me.
"We became best friends yesterday when I met her Jake, for some reason it feels like I've known her forever. And since Marcy and I are so alike I thought that she would like meeting Fionna." I said making his mouth drop even wider
With her it felt like I knew her but she had moved away and then recently moved back. She made me feel happy made me more open to others.
"Hello earth to Marsh." I saw Marceline's hand in front of my face
"What? I was just thinking." I said and she flashed a smirk that said Thinking about Fionna huh
My face turned red and I shot her a death glare she just smirked and said "Concert time"
"Whatever is everyone ready?" I said a little peeved at her
Yeah they all answered
"Fi." I said
"Hmm." she she looked, and I noticed she was eying the mics from her spot on the couch
"Find a good spot near the front okay." I smirked at her
"Got it." she left the room and we went up the stage.
"Ready." I got a nod from everyone and we stepped through the curtain as the announcer announced us with smirks on our faces.
